Head of cross platform product design at GIPHY, specifically web, mobile, SDK/API and internal tools. I\'m highly collaborative with product and engineering from concept to QA. I run internal design sprints to allow for experimentation, cross-functional team building, and design thinking leadership. I encourage the team to explore ideas through quick product testing and validation processes, and introduced the company to user testing practices-2019 Project highlight: GIPHY\'s SDK:One of GIPHY\'s biggest business strengths is its integrations reach. In 2019, we sought to expand that even further by creating a UI SDK for smaller and mid-tier partners to easily integrate GIFs into their apps. This was a tricky and multi-faceted project that included UX for multiple platforms, business development input, marketing and branding. Design led the charge on making sure user experience and visuals assets were both on brand, but agnostic enough for external apps to adopt our SDK. This included re-vamping our developer docs, collaborating with the branding team, and creating multiple UI kits for different external app use cases.
